Oltrarno artisan walk — Experience the local, the authentic and the hidden Florence with Maria B.

PHOTOS & SPANISH VERSION BELOW

Maria B. — half Italian, half Swedish — is a graphic designer with a great sensitivity and passion for any form of aesthetics and beauty. “Florentine Experience Shopping” was created by Maria in 2015 in order to spread her love for authentic and incomparable Florentine craftsmanship. She spent months hunting handicraft workshops interacting with the artisans and designers, where she gained knowledge of what is behind a genuine artisan piece. Her private and customized “Oltrarno Artisan Walk” —among other interesting and recommendable tours she also organizes— offers an unparalleled visit to some arresting and extraordinary working spaces where one can observe closely craftsmen creating the most delightful and outstanding handmade products, for instance: leather bags and shoes, gold and silversmiths, Florentine mosaic, wood art, and much more.

Maria is friendly, charming and knowledgeable. Her great background investigation is noticeable in the quality of her tours. The walk not only allows the visitor to discover old traditional professions, which unfortunately are disappearing nowadays in town; but also amiably chat with artisans while explaining their fascinating and traditional creative processes. Undoubtedly, an immersive experience that allows one to know another of the interesting and perhaps little-known faces of Florence.

Florentine Experience Shopping” with Maria, is a unique, authentic and personalized experience. A journey among the unrevealed Florentine art & craft traditional establishments, boutiques and fashion & design ateliers to discover the remarkable and inspirational Florentine craftsmanship heritage. This is the real art & crafts culture of Florence, part of the historical base of “Made in Italy” today.More info here
